Alternatively, you can register for DEFT, which allows payments by card or bank account, online. You can also make online payments that are one-off, future-dated, or recurring. Registering for DEFT provides additional benefits such as the ability to keep track of your payment history and easy management of multiple reference numbers. You will also receive email notifications when payments are made and when scheduled payments are unsuccessful.

Can I make a one-off payment from a bank account without registering for DEFT?

No. You can only make payments from a bank account by registering for DEFT. Once you have a DEFT account you can add your bank account details and make a one-off payment now or in the future, or set up recurring payments to debit your bank account.

You can make DEFT payments by:
